Visual Art – Miami

I\'m an Artist and I love it! From drawing on my room walls as a child to drawing on classroom desks(Yes! It\'s true.) up until the canvases that I paint on today, art has always been apart of who I am. Even when i experience my lowest of lows and darkest of dark places my art has always been a beacon for me. Sort of like the light at the end of the tunnel, i keep going because i know that my dreams are achievable. Whether it be by painting, drawing with lead, pen or ink, I absolutely enjoy getting my concepts out of my skull and onto a canvas. Pen and ink are my favorite mediums to work with and I believe my best creations have been made with these mediums.I have been locked into this love affair for a very long time! If I have it my way I\'ll be doing art well after I\'ve made it to heaven! My formal training began while I was in middle school at age 13 as an art student and from there I was accepted into Miami Northwestern senior High School\'s \'Performing and Visual Arts Center\' program. Following high school I began classes at Miami International University of Art and Design. I am currently working on my B.S. Degree in Visual Arts.
